After the Misstep—Clumsily Creating the Ko Murobushi Exhibitio
For now, I would like to make it a place where one can concentrate on each work and piece of material; a place where one can discover the connections between the works and materials as well as their relationship with the place where they are being exhibited. In this workshop, we will be using photographs and texts from the Ko Murobushi archive to create a “Ko Murobushi Exhibition” as we think about what makes a dance exhibition together.
